It is secondary legislation. I am trying to get an answer on an extremely important issue at a time when many families are facing a bitter winter. The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, with great fanfare, announced last January that he was introducing a new tariff scheme to develop offshore wind generation to ensure that up to 42% renewables will enter the electricity grid, but that is not happening. Nothing is happening because the secondary legislation has not been put in place. Why is that so?
